15/F
I'm only a quarter Italian. I know that for sure. I'm also a bit Irish, Dutch, German, etc.
But Italians have that oily, olive colored skin, right? That's what I've heard.
My skin doesn't look olive, to ME anyways. And I hardly ever breakout. If I do, it's not TOO noticeable, but I do have occassional problems.
But when I start off my day, my skin doesn't feel oily. It usually looks almost chapped in some places. But throughout the day, that changes. I've actually had a few guys say that my skin looks oily-- once today.
But when I use a blotting sheet, it's not like the whole thing is soaked.
I just don't know what to do and I'm pretty annoyed. Pleae help! :[

try washing your skin 2-3 times daily but not more,with hot water[not too hot!].also drink plenty of water!try to exercise regularly from now on...avoid oily/sugary/fatty food.plenty of vegetables and fruits.if your skin isn't too sensitive,try applying a little honey along with uncooked oatmeal and some lemon juice on it.mix the three and apply carefully,avoiding area near eyes.i have heard that honey is really good for oily skin,that's why.but you have to be careful.because some say,the opposite takes place,like some people get pimples instead!so do this last tip,only if your skin isn't sensitive.good luck!
